TAX DAY 2009

It's tax day! Hope you all finished up! Me? I got a nice letter from the Ohio Dept. of Taxation saying something along the lines of: "You owe back taxes -- lots of them -- so we're keeping your return. Please call us. Have a nice day."

Great. Anyways, it's a good reminder to show how your money is spent, especially considering the tea parties going on today:

That's right kids. The ungodly thought of paying for human services when we have so little money... especially when it's going to such important things like $200B for two unnecessary wars.

I wish I could find the graph today that had something to do with percentage of the government paid for by the wealthy. It's something like 70% of all taxes come from the top 20th percentile of the country, which makes us all go "Wow, they are paying too much." Meanwhile, they are making something like 60% of all the wealth in the country. Anyone help a sister out on this one?
